Important news emerged yesterday, worthy of obsession and xenophobia, that ourrace beat another race at a game.

Their team dribbled the ball past our team and kicked it into our net. Our team dribbled the ball past their team and kicked it into their net, but more times.

Afterwards, our centre-forward had these profound words: "The aim of the game is to score goals. We scored more goals than them, so we won."

This wisdom was surpassed only our star player, the manager: "Their team dribbled the ball past our team and kicked it into our net. Our team dribbled the ball past their team and kicked it into their net, but more times."

However, the real winners were the owners of the media, who earned millions, and the politicians, whose voters were distracted from politics and attracted to jingoism.
